Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Gold Heart V 4 opens with a potent, almost metallic blast of pepper and cardamom, a truly arresting introduction. This sharp spice soon mellows, giving way to a creamy, comforting milk accord, interwoven with the subtle, warm sweetness of saffron. As it settles, woody notes emerge, providing a smooth, serene base that lingers like a cosy, spiced drink. It's a journey from bold and edgy to surprisingly soft and enveloping.
